“Whatever weakens your reason, whatever impairs the tenderness of your conscience, whatever obscures your sense of God, whatever increases the authority of your body over your mind, whatever takes away from your relish for spiritual things, that to you is sin, no matter how innocent it is in itself.”

-Susanna Wesley’s answer to son John Wesley
who, going off to college, asked his mother for a list of sins to avoid
